Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba has advised Napoli striker Victor Osimhen not to join Ligue 1 Champions Paris Saint-Germain, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Osimhen has lit up Serie A and the UEFA Champions League this season. He joined the Gli Azzurri in July 2020 from Lille for a club-record fee of €70 million plus add-ons.
He had a relatively moderate first two seasons at the club, scoring 24 goals in 51 appearances. However, this season he has exploded into form and has already accumulated 26 goals and five assists in 31 appearances.
PSG’s sporting director Luis Ocampos has reportedly held talks with Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda twice over a possible summer move.
The Ivorian Icon however, believes the French champions aren't the right club for Osimhen to progress in.
“He (Osimhen) is really in the sights of a club like PSG,” the former Ivory Coast captain told Canal Plus as per United in Focus.
“It shows the full extent of his talent and the season he is having.
“But PSG is not the club he needs to continue his progress.”
Osimhen is also being courted by Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
